Yeah VLT88 is right i seen it with my own two eyes they had the chief andra steward there and everything.You NEED a tailshaft loop with a 2 piece if you intent on running slicks at and andra controlled track.We even tried the old switcharoo out the back but they were on too it as soon as it come through the tunnels.

If you are planning on doing like Exchser above, I would recommend welding sheet metal plates to the factory sheet metal to prevent the bolts from pulling out under torque.

There are plates on the other side of the floor in that picture, but you can lick my balls if u think im going to pull the carpet up just for a picture LOL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

providing your lower trailing arms dont break first Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers, Locky.

I've got the latest if i remember i'll have a look

Cheers mate, I'd appreciate it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats a good new rule, not hat i see the point in having a 2 x piece shaft anyways. I have a single 1 x piece shaft, lowered suspension, full car etc, never hits. If the person fitting the shaft has any idea, there is a small area to massage to give it the same clearance as a 2 x piece, this is how mine has been done and not a problem in the world. I also had my Tailshaft loop welded in so i didnt have to put 8 x bolt holes in the floor for the supporting brackets. Much easier and my car is ANDRA teched and they liked it!

I don't suppose You've had a chance to look for Me yet RB2GO?

I've got the latest book and all it says is a 360 degree loop is required at the FRONT uni Also the ANDRA website lists rule changes/updates and there is nothing re 2 piece shafts

OK thanks mate!
